That time of the year when the sun shines brightly has arrived and the intoxicating coastal breezes bring marine aromas with them that fill our lungs with vitality and well-being.

When it comes to fragrances, during the summer we tend to use scents that feel light, fresh and clean. These aromas that fit so well in summer environments usually have olfactory notes collected within the following families:

• Citrus olfactory family: Bergamot, lemon, yuzu, lime and neroli are popular in this season. They are used in fragrances with floral bodies to add a certain lightness to the whole and with aromatic plants, such as spearmint, in order to obtain fresh and clean fragrances.

• Floral olfactory family: In this group, aquatic flowers such as water lilies and sweet floral chords, as well as white flowers such as jasmine and gardenia stand out in summer. Their smell fits perfectly with the warmest temperatures of summer and they are capable of transporting us to beautiful gardens with just one spray.

• Marine olfactory family: Particularly noteworthy are the aquatic chords, suitable for synthetic molecules such as Calone, which provides notes reminiscent of sea breezes, and natural raw materials such as the absolute extracted from the Fucus Vesiculus algae.

• Fruity olfactory family: Notes of tropical fruits such as coconut and pineapple triumph in this season, evoking exotic landscapes with their aroma and providing a certain sweet and fruity combination that works very well when it comes to complementing warm days and a state of happier and more relaxed mood.

Getting to know the new olfactory trends of this summer

Although this year homage is once again paid to the most significant qualities of the season through the use of chords such as those mentioned above and the use of raw materials rich in cineole, the trends point towards the recognition of other characteristics of the summer season that tend to be overlooked more often.

The use of gourmand notes such as vanilla, normally used in more winter fragrances, is being seen more and more in the background of fresh and summer scents, reminding us of ice creams of this and other flavors. The same growing trend is being observed in fragrances based on exotic fruit sorbets such as mango, which are intermingled with herbal accords such as mint to enhance the overall freshness.

This season the popularity of the pitahaya or dragon fruit olfactory notes has also skyrocketed, which has won the position of the smell of the year thanks to its floral, sweet and intoxicating aroma.
